Jewelry as an art form flourished on the Indian subcontinent, reaching its height in the age of the Mughals.
The al-Sabah collection of the Kuwait National Museum boasts some of the world’s finest pieces produced at that time. Since many have never been featured in a publication before, this catalogue describes the most remarkable of them in all their splendor. The result is a visual feast of almost unbelievable richness, gathered together in this book for the first time. A dazzling treat for lovers of jewels and precious objects.
